I guess filtering out-of-office messages automatically would be effective (there are not many types of out-of-office messages and the number will not grow like in the case of spam). Martin Žember On Sat, Sep 13, 2008 at 8:14 PM, Erin Carroll <amoeba () amoebazone com> wrote:
Unfortunately, I'm just the list moderator. So much spam, so little control over it :) SecurityFocus controls the pen-test mail server and listserv and I don't have direct control over unsubscribing dead addresses or bounces like the Google groups responses (I am not a SecurityFocus or Symantec employee, I actually volunteered for this gig :)). When I receive complaints and/or the bounces get out of hand I let SecurityFocus know and they usually take care of it quite quickly.

Isn't it kinda lame for pen testers to be broadcasting OOO messages to the world? Especially to other pen testers? Especially from your work email address? Can you say, "Hack me please! I am not in the office to see what you are doing to my (choose one or more of the following) network / servers / web site / database / users." Come on now, let's get with it! If you have to send OOO messages, PLEASE at least filter them so that they do not get outside of your organization -- or, especially to mailing lists! Ever time I post to this group (and other SF groups), I seem to get about a dozen bounces from either OOO messages or 'you do not have permission to post to Google groups.' Which brings up another point: What is with all the Google groups bounces? If this is a SF auto-post thing, could someone in SF *PLEASE* obfuscate the sender's email address so s/he does not get all those (expletive deleted) bounces? If it is the result of some lamer in this group, will you *PLEASE* find some other way to do the posting without the author getting flamed for trying to post when they do not have permission? </RANT> Thank you for your indulgence.
